Summary of the 2018 Stamford Santa Fun Run

The Rotary Club of Stamford Burghley
were delighted to present cheques to the value of £10,500 to their 3 endorsed
Stamford Santa Fun Run Charities at a meeting kindly hosted by the George Hotel
on Monday 28 January 2019. Each Charity, Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice, Mind
for Wendy and Phoebe Research, received the sum of £3500. In addition, a
further £3,500 is available for the Rotary Club to distribute to local and
national charities and good causes throughout 2019.

Present were Joely Garner representing
Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice.

Kerry Tanner and Will Hetherington
representing “Mind for Wendy”

Zoe Crowson, Steven Arnold and Phoebe
representing Phoebe Research.

President John Sutcliffe and other
members of the Rotary Club of Stamford Burghley were present supporting the
Charities.

John Sutcliffe commented “that he was
very proud of the members and other volunteers who helped planning the event
over the previous year and especially the work that went into the running of
the Fun Run. Burghley Estate deserve our gratitude for allowing us to run our
event every year for the last 12 years and a special thanks to all of the
sponsors who made it possible”

Zoe Crowson of Phoebe Research confirmed
her delight at the donation by saying, when hearing the amount being given; “That’s
absolutely incredible and well done to everyone involved. It certainly gets
Phoebe Research off to a good start this year.”

Joely Garner warmly applauded the
Rotary Club and said “Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice were delighted to be one of
the chosen charities of the 2018 Santa Fun Run, what a site and what fun when
thousands of Santas running round Burghley Park. Further funds were raised by
us on the day of £820, thanks to our individual sponsors thus giving us a total
of £4,320. Every penny raised makes a real difference to our patients and their
loved ones at a time when it matters most.”

Kerry and Will jointly thanked the Club
“We are extremely grateful for this very generous donation which will help us
to fulfil our pledge to support local mental health charities in memory of
Wendy Hetherington. Wendy loved the Stamford area and was always first to help
others in trouble so it is heartening to know, with this money, we can do some
good in her name. Thank you”

Mind for Wendy facilitated a donation
to Mind Space Stamford; Helen Howe Chair of Trustees said “I would like to
thank the Rotary Club of Burghley for the very generous contribution from the
surplus of the Santa Fun Run”.

In summary, what a fantastic achievement and thank you to all the runners for making this possible.
